challenging and competitive? are you on crack? In the first 15 minutes of that stupid e3 beta thing, myself and 3 other newbies won about 15 straight 4 on 4's. Not once did I ever feel any challenge, or any rush or any adrenaline. It was nothing more than point and click boredom. Ya I know I didn't experience a lot of the game, but I don't fucking need to. I've been around long enough to judge games within the first 30 minutes of playing them, and guild wars is a fucking steaming terd.
But that's just my opinion, so surely it won't upset you.... unless of course you know I'm right and you're wrong.
